How you can benefit:
- You have the possibility to create a list of potential customers who are interested in one or more products of your e-commerce
- You can automatically notify users who have subscribed to the list when the products are available for purchase.

WooCommerce Waitlist for out-of-stock products according to inventory + automatic notification
Studies in online shops have shown that notifying customers when out-of-stock products are back in stock converts between 10 – 15% of inquiries into actual purchases. With the WooCommerce plugin from YITH* mentioned in this article, these values can definitely be achieved, thus automatically generating more sales in the shop.
Are you out of stock of one of your most popular products? Are you waiting for deliveries but afraid of losing customers? Give them the opportunity to add the out-of-stock item to a product waiting list and send an email as soon as it is available again in your e-commerce store.
This allows you not to lose customers and is the easiest way to actively encourage them without letting them get away. You will see how your sales and customer satisfaction increase.
